The section starting at 1:18 happens to be entitled "God's Wrath Against Mankind" in the NIV version.

Romans 1:18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness..

The "come to buddy Jesus" gospel wouldn't have been the one preached then. The good news was good news in the light of the bad news.
And like all faithful and uninformed Humanists iano, will not be happy until God or the gods do things exacally how he thinks they should be done or some other human with another very different opinion. Tell me iano, excally which human being or group of human beings should God design his plans around. There are so many well-intentioned people out there. Humanists say "man is the measure of all things"., but the question is "What man"?. Hitler, Stalin, Plato? Whos philosophy should we adopt?
And like all poor expositors, iano fails to see the glaring part of the verse he quotes which says, "who SUPRESS the truth in wickedness and godlessness"., iano wishes that God would just leave us alone to perform any amount of perversness that we choose. But why would you expect any less from a staunch Humanist. He sees the principle of Free Will in his every day walk of life when dealing with local authorities and understands that his freedom does not imply he can do anything he want without consequences. But when he comes to God, he demands that God do it his way.
Your whole post amounts to nothing but crying and complaining, get off the POT as you call it and atleast try and make a valid Damn argument.
